Boudeaux&#39;s delightful Cajun culture and accent doesn&#39;t extend all the way up to Nak-uh-tush, but newspaper obits there still have their problems. When my children&#39;s great-great-grandfather died there in the 1890s, his brother personally went into the newspaper office also. The editor then wrote, in his next edition, &quot;My friend Landry Charleville came up from Cloutierville and brought me the biggest red tomato you ever saw.&quot; Did he say anything about Joseph Charleville&#39;s death? No. I confess I&#39;ve wondered if, perhaps, there were things at play that were better off left unmentioned. :)Millshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17586515912748502366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394184517128570144.post-767756667151242112010-01-19T10:23:58.482-08:002010-01-19T10:23:58.482-08:00Boudreux&#39;s Death Notice:

They argued back and forth until they finally stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the blonde employee, &quot;Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are ... very slowly?&quot; The blonde girl leaned over the counter and said, &quot;Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kinggggggggg.&quot;Randyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15084869946907300038noreply@blogger.com
